I like the idea of The Enforcers being cocky, and that their tech is on equal levels. As for the holy beasts, weird that you said that, because that's how they looked in my head.........

And Enforcer soldiers aka angels are designated a rank by their armor, so yes, golden armor could work. Here are the ranks:

Bronze- soldier
Silver- captain
Gold- General/important figure

So yes, golden armor is DEFINATELY a go.

Dragons are no doubt going to be bad. To make it even, the Enforcers' creatures are heavily armored and ranged based, while demonic beasts are physically powerful but lack good ranged weapons.

I can talk about my RPG's backstory for hours, so if you want to, I can PM the whole mythos so that this thread isn't filled with its craziness. Just so that the whole RPG would make snese..............

What kind of limitations will be placed? Will people be forced to conform to set technologies/magicks or can they be creative?

[TyrannoTitan]

I dunno, the limiting of demons to melee and holy creatures to ranged is a bit weird. I mean, saying that the majority of demons are melee makes sense, but completely limiting players to that is a bit much in my opinion.

And a word of warning: Mythos is not always a good idea with RPGs/E-wars. If you really have a huge back story, then the RPG might suffer from FRPG syndrome: Its too complicated for its own good. We (Or should I say, the rest of the staff, I had minimal contact with FRPG's creation process >.>) ended up making FRPG's mythology and history so complex that two things happened:

1, the topic was, excuse my crudeness, TL;DR. That stands for "Too long; didn't read". People were intimidated by the length, and didn't want to read through it completely. Then they'd try to fill the slots that FRPG has already established (Generic king of the world) and were yelled at for f*cking the RPG up.

2: As I said, people want power. Even if they can't actually get it, the illusion that it is possible keeps people going. In FRPG, we established every position you can think of ahead of time, and people were then "forced" to pick lesser roles. This is part of FRPG's downfall, in my opinion. Notice, most of our more successful RPGs are totally free in terms of background.

ISS: JP universe, you are a dinosaur, go crazy.
WRPG: Warriors universe, you are a cat in the wild, go crazy.
SHRPG: Generic superhero universe in NYC, you are a super hero or villain, go crazy.

See what I mean? Explaining things is one thing, but making things too complex is a serious issue.

[Doc 42]

Warriors rpg is kept alive by nothing more than a never ending train of ninjas.

As for FRPG, another problem with the lore, 70% of it was filler and not properly thought out.
It didnt do a very good job of fleshing out the world.

[TyrannoTitan]

You know you have no say in the matter of WRPG, because you are a completely biased party, and probably haven't been reading the recent posts

And about FRPG, I agree.

[Doc 42]

...Yup

They've got magic, and remember

Code: Select all

What's the best part about magic?

Everything

[Godzilla Forever]

TT: I'm not saying that the Enforcers are fully ranged. I'm saying that their main method of fighting is ranged, since demons are melee BEASTS.

I magic is the demon's method of attack, shooting their primary element at their foes as their attack before closing in for the kill.

For the Mythos, I can agree fully. Maybe this would be better for an E-war, or just becoming a fan-fic...............

Doc: They can be creative, but it can't be ridiculous magic. Also, the factions CANNOT, under any circumstances, use their opposite faction's magic (i.e. demons using holy magic, Enforcers using dark magic) and humans CANNOT use magic.

[Doc 42]

So right, a demon can't necessary, like... make someone spontaneously explode?

[Godzilla Forever]

No. THAT would be ridiculous. They CAN, however, if the user they are fighting lets them, blow a limb off or something...............

I have experience with what this past page has been talking about.

I made a FRPG on a different site. result - failure. failure beyond all previously perceived failure.

been there. done that.
idea = good.
execution = failure.


it happens. a lot. especially when it's your first successful RPG.

[Godzilla Forever]

I see.....

Well, I'm making a fan-fic right now based on the pre-endwar for the supposed RPG, so I'll at least expand on my fiction.......

How is it your first successful rpg if it failed?

[Evil Eye]

^ I lold

Anyway, I was watching xmen 2 yesterday, so that gave me the idea... has an xmen rpg been tried? Do movie based rpgs often work or fail?

[C S]

Super Hero RPG

thassit

its not limited to the X-men universe, which it why it wins

like TT said, your a mutant/alien/whateverthefuckyoucanthinkof in NYC. go crazy

[Evil Eye]

Ahh, ok then.

[Cpt.Yuke]

How about a Band RPG?

You can form a band with fellow members real or Npc's
-you can tour on favorite festivals
-have a life like a rockstar
-do band battle's
-split up and go solo
etc?

think this can be fun?

[Doc 42]

Sounds cool, but personally I'd hate the life of a rockstar. The only attraction is the music and the freedom, which you can't really put into a text rpg. :/
It's a good idea though. I'd be interested in trying to incorporate it into one of the other RPGs, or a new one entirely.

[Evil Eye]

I think it'd be worth at least a try.
Of course, I'm biased, being an avid musician myself
But yeah, it'd have my vote.

[The Kingpin]

as cool as it would be to be a star in the music industry, there really isn't that much you can do where text RPGs are conscerned...unless you want to control a band and start coming up with music lyrics and stuff, but then, what's the point if you can't bring it to life with actual music?

[Evil Eye]

I'll write riffs and send em to Yuke.
Problem solved
